SALES CONDUCTED BY MR. FREDERICK A. CHAPMAN 


INTRODUCTION 


HE present collection was formed during many years of study 

of drawings both of old and modern masters, and to a consider- 
able extent is to be regarded as ancillary to various writings in these 
fields, issued either in book form or as magazine articles. In the 
course of preparing a volume devoted preponderantly to the Italian 
masters, I became decidedly interested in the work of 16th, 17th and 
even 18th Century Italians, not so generally known in America as they 
are in Hurope, yet men whose drawings—often far better than their 
paintings—have much to offer to the student, at times bearing favor- 
able comparison to the work of the very great artists of their day. 
Albano, Barbieri (Il Guercino), Annibale Carracci, Polidoro, Michel- 
angelo da Caravaggio, Pietro da Cortona, Della Bella, Cesare da Sesto, 
Giordano,—these are but a few of the artists here represented who 
might be mentioned in this connection. 

If I were more specifically to refer to other drawings by interest- 
ing artists that are not among the giants in the record of Italian art, 
I should not wish to omit such a brilliant sketch as that (No. 223), 
by Pierfrancesco Mola; or the wash drawing, remarkable on account 
of its subject—a scene in Hell (No. 257), by Giacomo Del Po; or 
Guido Reni’s St. Michael (No. 287) ; or Lanfranco’s water-color (No. 
207), depicting God holding the globe in his left hand, a magnificent 
drawing of special interest to the lovers of William Blake. The Gio- 
vanni da Udine (No. 362), is a drawing that is a landmark in the 
record of Renaissance decoration, one of the “grotesques” that was the 
direct fruit of the visits of this artist, in the company of Raffaelle, to 
the grottoes of Hadrian. More towering names in Italian art are 
represented by the lovely drawing ascribed by Sir Peter Lely to Raf- 
faelle (No. 264), the superlatively rare Vincentino (No. 382), and the 
beautiful Correggio drawing of a nude boy (No. 62), from the Collec- 
tion of the Marquis da Fossi. Those who have learned, possibly in 
reading Sir Sidney Colvin’s book entitled, “Children in Italian and 
English Design,” that childhood in itself was seldom used by the 
Italian painters, know that the child enters their drawings mainly 
under the guise of the Infant Christ or the little St. John, and not for 
purposes associated with the immediate life or expression of childhood. 
All the more important and appealing, therefore, are the two drawings 
to which reference has just been made, inasmuch as they show mas- 
terly, lovely and perfectly simple delineation of little children. In the 
large group of Italian drawings a wide range of subjects is repre- 


sented: religious, mythological, historical, landscape and animals. 
One meets with such rarities as Baccio del Bianco’s drawing (No. 24), 
of an American Indian; a wash drawing by Giovanni da San Giovanni 
(No. 130), showing a sense of humor seldom found in genre drawings 
(themselves rare) in Italian art; while in the Michelangelo da Cara- 
vaggio (No. 47), this leader of the Italian realists shows one of his 
characteristic drawings of vagabond life. In Europe, there is a swiftly 
increasing number of critics and collectors who maintain that the 17th 
Century Italians constitute the foremost group of draughtsmen in the 
history of art. And now that drawings by the earlier Italians are prac- 
tically not obtainable, the designs by these 17th Century masters are 
becoming the vogue, and are rapidly increasing in value. A word 
to the wise collector is sufficient. 

The French school, represented by artists of four centuries, begins 
with a drawing by Callot (No. 36), that reminds us of Rembrandt’s 
debt to this first of all great etchers. Other 17th Century artists are 
the rare Gérard de Lairesse (No. 206) ; Jouvenet, whose Ascension of 
the Virgin (No. 198), is an unusually fine example; Nicholas Poussin, 
with his Diana and Actaeon (No. 262); and the interesting Picart 
(No. 263), known to all book collectors for his illustrations in many 
fields. Among the artists of the 18th Century, Carle Van Loo is repre- 
sented by crayon and sanguine studies of the nude, forming a series 
unparalleled at any previous auction. Francois Verdier, one of the 
favorite artists of the King, presents some of his Biblical drawings, 
an unusual Russian character study (No. 214), is by Le Prince; and 
an even more unusual drawing, that of a camel (No. 384), shows Wat- 
{eau’s delightful genius. Fragonard is represented by three drawings 
(Nos. 114, 115 and 116), two of them belonging to his Italian period, 
a period represented in the Fragonard drawings in the Louvre, but in 
the fewest of private collections, either in Europe or America. ‘They 
are commented upon at length in the catalogue. Among the 19th 
Century artists, Troyon and Millet are the most noted names; although 
we must not forget to mention Doré’s drawing of the Epsom Races 
(No. 77), or the theatre scene (No. 147), by Constantin Guys. Tissot 
and Helleu bring the French group down to our own days. 

The earliest of the Dutch masters is Jacques Savery (No 304), 
whose delightful skating scene is the first drawing by this rare artist 
that has ever been offered at an American auction. It has the same 
quality as his well-known drawing of a similar subject in the Albertina 
Collection. To Rembrandt, who was born in 1603, one year after the 
death of Savery, is attributed a sketch for The Good Samaritan (No. — 
275). It is a drawing which really should be submitted to the great 


Rembrandt authorities in Amsterdam for final judgment. While it 
may be by one of the group of artists who were the close followers of 
Rembrandt, it may well be by the master himself. Rembrandt’s fa- 
mous compatriots and contemporaries, Wouvermann (No. 392), and 
Adrian Van de Velde (No. 365), are shown in two characteristic 
drawings ; the one of a nobleman with horse and dog; the other of a 
charming river scene with cattle on the left bank and church and trees 
on the right. Nicholas Berghem’s (No. 22), sanguine drawing shows 
a group including donkeys, sheep and dog by an artist famous for his 
paintings of animals; while the hunting scene by Thomas Wyck (No. 
393), is one of the most spirited depictions of men and women and 
animals that I have ever seen. The Brauwer (No. 34), which M. Sey- 
mour de Ricci, the distinguished Parisian expert, has attributed to the 
famous Cornelius Bega, is a fascinating Dutch interior. An absolutely 
genuine drawing by Van Ostade is included in a little lot (No. 945), 
offering possibilities for further research; while the two drawings by 
Houbraken (Nos. 153 and 154), are drawings of record, which have 
been engraved by this prolific portraitist. Special comment on the 
Dutch school may be brought to a close with a reference to two modern 
painters; Van Muyden (No. 227), distinguished for his paintings of 
animals, and Artz (No. 13), one of the most gifted of the followers 
of Josef Israels. 

The Flemish, only slightly represented in this collection, include 
(No. 292) a magnificent drawing by Rubens; a very quaint Martin de 
Vos (No. 383); the Peter de Jode from the Esdaile Collection ; two 
unusual drawings (one of them signed in full, and the other from the 
Bayard Taylor Collection), by Francis Floris (Nos. 105 and 106) ; and 
a drawing (No. 332), by Stradanus, that rare and early artist whose 
gifts were so various that he was equally proficient in church decora- 
tions, designs for tapestries, and illustrations for books. 

There is no occasion to say much of the German drawings. They 
are a lesser group, mainly from Bayard Taylor’s Collection. My 
favorite is by Wille (No. 389), who is really associated more with the 
18th Century French school than with the German. Historically 
most important is the Rugendas (No. 273). This painter was so 
famous in his day that in a contemporary history of art as many 
pages are devoted to him as are given over to Raffaelle or to Michel- 
angelo. The Goltzius (No. 143), will appeal to collectors f engrav- 
ings, and is particularly interesting on account of its subject; No. 119 
and No. 201 are drawings that would presumably fetch high prices in 
Germany, but they belong to a school that I have not studied. 


it may be suggested that while, for the purpose of expediting this 
sale, various of these artists are grouped together in lots, these lots 
offer opportunities that should not be overlooked, especially in such 
cases as when a painting by Louis Loeb or Castaigne is included. 
As to the score or two of etchings and engravings that accompany 
these drawings, while the pair of colored prints by Dubucourt are 
rare and notable, the Rembrandts, the Diirers, and the Little Masters, 
ete., are prints with which the American collector is so familiar that 
comment would be superfluous. GA

JAMES BARRY 
1741-1799 
ST. SEBASTIAN 
With preliminary sketch of same figure on the reverse side of the 
sheet. Exceedingly rare drawing by this eminent artist who 
was born in Ireland and who lies buried in the crypt 


of St. Paul’s Cathedral. He became a Royal Academician 


in 1773, when Wiliam Blake, then sixteen years old, was 
just begininng to draw for publication. There can be little 
doubt that Blake was influenced by Barry, to whom he was 
temperamentally, as well as artistically allied. The present fas- 
cinating drawing by Barry is a document of intense interest 
for any collector of Blake’s drawings. Pen and ink drawing. 
10% inches x 7% inches

Dwell in her bosom, as she dwells in mine.”

Original red gouache, heightened in white, and with blue sky, 
of a group of cattle, sheep and peasant figures. The squared

BIBIENA (FERDINANDO GALLI)

one of the great Italian masters in architectural and perspective 

drawing. In a specially carved ornamental gold frame.

ROBERT BLUM 


TWENTY SKETCHES 


A sheet having on its two sides twenty pen and ink sketches by 
this distinguished artist, whose early death was an irreparable 
loss to American art. The fine drawings of Blum, whose mural 
decoration of the old Mendelssohn Hall won his his first fame, are 
very rare. The present drawing was presented by Blum to that 
erratic genius, the poet and painter, Sadakichi Hartman, and is 
so inscribed. The largest of these sketches is that of an American 
Indian, and probably no nobler drawing of an Indian has ever 
been made by an American artist. 10% inches x 8 inches 


THE BURIAL OF BALDER 

Magnificent wash drawing, heightened in white. Blum, who died 
young, was considered by some critics, as one of the most remark- 
able American artists, and his drawings are much sought after and 
very rare. The composition of this drawing, with the group 
carrying the body of their chieftain, framed by the great prow of 
the waiting ship, is a fascinating achievement, and altogether 
this imaginative drawing is one of Blum’s masterpieces. |

GEORGE H. BOUGHTON 
British American, 1834-1905 


ILLUSTRATING “THE SCARLET LETTER” 

This is the original water-color sketch, showing considerable 
variation from the later water-color that is reproduced in the 
Grolier Club Edition of Hawthorne’s novel. The present paint- 
ing shows Hester standing in the public square, her infant in her 
arms, and the scarlet “A” on her breast. There are some elgh- 
teen other figures, the group in the balcony including Arthur 
Dimmesdale. Boughton’s series of water-colors for “The Scarlet 
Letter” are far-famed, and the present painting, with that sketchy 
quality which so appeals to the artistic critic, is one of the most 
fascinating of the series. 14 inches x 9% inches 


ADRIAEN BRAUWER 
1605-16388 

A QUARREL 

Scene with seven figures, the central group being four men quar- 
relling over a game of cards. Brauwer, is, of course, best known 
for his scenes of Dutch interiors with peasants playing and drink- 
ing, and his own life was one full of brawls. There has been 
interesting discussion concerning this drawing. A distinguished 
European expert ascribing it not to Brauwer, but to another fa- 
mous Dutch master, Cornelius Bega. 7% inches x 934 inches

Pen and ink and red crayon drawing. This great French artist, 
the earliest of the great etchers, remains of the most important 


names in the history of art. His drawings are exceedingly rare, 


and this one is of prime importance in showing the influence of 
Callot on Rembrandt, who as a young man must have known 
the drawings and etchings of Callot. Collector’s mark “H.M.”

CARLO CIGNANI 
1628-1719 

CUPID AND HEBE 

Red crayon drawing. This Bolognese painter was the best known 
of the disciples of Albani, and in some ways resembles Correggio. 
Bryan writes of him: “Like the Carracci he possessed the faculty 
of making his figures appear larger than they really are. He 
excelled in painting women and children, in which to something 
of the grace of Albani, he added a more elevated character.” 
The present drawing is especially interesting as illustrating the 
foregoing comment. 16% inches x 11% inches

ANTONIO ALLEGRO DA CORREGGIO 
1494-1554 

LITTLE NUDE BOY 
Red crayon drawing. Annibale Caracci wrote to his cousin 
Lodovico that the “boys of Correggio breathe, live and laugh 
with a grace and truth of nature that compel us to laugh and be 
merry with them.” Correggio was never happier than in his 
drawings of children, and the present drawing is a wonderful 
example of the study of childhood by the great Lombard master. 
The excessive rarity of Correggio drawings is well known.

OCTOBER—A DRIVE IN DRURY LANE 
Original sketch for “The Comic Almanack” for 1841. This 
pencil and wash drawing shows a combat in which not only actors 


and musicians, but the musical instruments and the very notes 


themselves take part. In its spirited humor it shows the artist 
in one of his characteristic moods. The drawing, signed in full 
by Cruikshank, is one of those documents of interest alike to the 
collector of drawings and books, and to the collector of musical 
rarities, 67% inches x 85% inches 


TOWER OF LONDON 
Original water-color sketch, signed by the artist, showing scene ~ 
probably in the Tower of London. An exceptionally fine ex-

for an expert in Cruikshankiana. 7% inches x 87% inches 


SHEET OF DRAWINGS 
A remarkable sheet of drawings. Cruikshank, durmg evenings 
when he had a convivial party at his rooms, would sometimes ask 
one of his friends to see what he could get from a neighboring 
liquor dealer in exchange for a drawing. This sheet is said to 
have figured in one of these pleasant transactions.

WYATT EATON 
1849-1896 


THE JUDGMENT OF PARIS 

The masterpiece among drawings by Wyatt Eaton, and the most 
important of American drawings, showing the influence of the 
Barbizon School on American art. Formerly in the collection 
of the New York architect, Howard Thomas, who years ago re- 
fused $400 for this drawing. See reproduction and comment in 
the article entitled “Wyatt Eaton” in the “Art World,” Decem- 
ber, 1917. Framed. 19 inches x 25 inches 
Both museums and private collectors know how rare are the 
drawings of Wyatt Eaton, whose early death cut short the career 
of one of the most talented of American painters. Canadian by 
birth, he was intimately allied with the art of New York, and was 
associated with St. Gaudens in the founding of the Society of 
American Artists. His series of portraits of distinguished Cana- 
dians is perhaps his foremost monument. In the following col-

A RARE DRAWING OF FRAGONARD 5 


ITALIAN PERIOD 


[NUMBER 114] 


114 


115 


JEAN HONORE FRAGONARD 
1732-1806 
MYTHOLOGICAL SUBJECT 
Red and black crayon drawing with many figures of which the 
central ones show Cupid approaching Adonis (?). 
This is one of those rare drawings, belonging to a group of 
Fragonard drawings, alluded to in essays and biographies, but 
hardly ever found outside of museums. In 1752, at the age of 
twenty, Fragonard won the “grand prix de Rome.” The next 
few years spent in Italy were devoted to the study of all the 
great Italian masters: Michel Angelo, Da Vinci, Raffaelle, del 
Sarto, Titian, Correggio and the rest. Fragonard made many 
drawings from—or was inspired by—their paintings, and to 
quote the words of Charles Blanc—“Histoire des Peintres”— 
“Heole Frangaise, Vol. II,’ “Essay on Fragonard,” page 4: 
“This precious collection of sanguine drawings testified to his 
desire to assimilate all styles and practices, yet, in regarding 
the character of these drawings, one can always divine that 
these studies belong to the middle of the 18th Century.” 
Fragonard translates the old masters into the style of his own 
time—introduces the French quality, and, as the French critic 
states, everything that he does is “fragonaise.”’ . 
It is significant to recall, in view of the present drawing so imme- 
diately bringing to mind Pietro da Cortona, that Cortona was 
at the time of Fragonard’s arrival at Rome “Souverain en Italie 
et méme en Europe.” Another master who greatly influenced 
the young French artist was Tiepolo, notably in “la touche 
rapide” and “la coluer du feu.” These two qualities—the 
swift touch and the flame-like color—are very apparent in this 
drawing. Framed. 6% inches x 834 inches 
[SEE ILLUSTRATION ] 


MYTHOLOGICAL FIGURES 

Pencil and red crayon drawing, heightened in white, on gray 
paper. The central figures of the lovers are perhaps Cupid and 
Psyche. A Satyr and many cherubs are among the other fig- 
ures. ‘This is another of those rare drawings that Fragonard 
made in Italy, equal in quality to the preceding drawing, and 
showing the same unmistakable characteristics of that group 
of drawings alluded to in essays and biographies but hardly 
ever found outside of museums. 71 inches x 9% inches

. W. GLACKENS 


Contemporary American 


The following group of drawings by Glackens, were made as 
illustrations for stories in various magazines, whose files may 
easily be consulted. They are, in themselves, such remarkable 
drawings, that the collector will find them self-sufficient, 
Glackens belonging to that small group of American artists 
who rank as striking expositors of human character, and often 
of the satire of life. 


FOUR FIGURES 

Crayon and wash drawing. One of the inimitable sketches by 
this remarkable satirist in art, illustration for a story entitled, 
“Generous Mr. Deane.” This drawing is a masterpiece in char- 
acterization, and may be compared with the drawings of Dau- 
mier. 1054 inches x 14 inches 


HUSBAND AND WIFE AT TABLE 
A masterpiece in tragi-comedy. Signed at lower right. 
10 inches x 834 inches 


SCENE AT A DRESSMAKER’S 
Wash and crayon drawing, heightened in white. The figures of 
the man and two women evidence that remarkable characteri- 
zation that has made the work of this artist so sought after by 
collectors. Signed at lower right. 13 inches x 11% inches 


DEATH-BED SCENE 

Black and white wash drawing of two little girls at the bedside 
of their dying father, with a physician standing behind the 
children. The expression in all four faces, and especially in the 
children’s is wonderful, and the painting is a masterpiece in 
tragedy. Signed at lower left. 13 inches x 12 inches

A SOUTHERN HOUSEHOLD 
Wash drawing, heightened in white, showing eight figures, with 
the interest concentrating on the woman who has thrown her- 
self on the prostrate body of a man. A striking painting by 
one of the most notable of American artists. 

1634 inches x 14 inches 


THE BATTLE OF SAN JUAN HILL 
Wash drawing, heightened in white, of Theodore Roosevelt 
leading the charge. Over fifty figures are shown in this impor- 
tant historical drawing. Signed at lower left. 

18% inches x 14 inches 


TWO MEN QUARRELING 
Crayon drawing. One of those masterly drawings by this dis- - 
tinguished contemporary American painter, wherein his talent 
reminds one of Daumier. 9% inches x 10% inches 


FORCE OF ARMS 

Pen and ink drawing, showing three armed men, driving a 
group of five people into a building. Fine drawing characteri- 
zation. Signed at lower right. 1614 inches x 2234 inches 


THE CIRCUS 

Pen and ink drawing of a dramatic episode, showing two eques- 
trians falling through the air on their horse. A remarkable 
drawing. Signed at lower left. 17 inches x 12 inches

FRANCESCO JOSE DE GOYA (attributed to) 
1746-1828 

THE MISER 

We can readily see why this red crayon drawing of a miser about 
to be robbed of his gold has been attributed to that bizarre 
Spanish painter. In all the six figures in this drawing, Goya's 
kind of humor and characterization is manifest; yet it is safer 
to call it a drawing of the school of Goya than a design by the 
master himself; and indeed, it may be, as has been interestingly 
suggested by a distinguished French expert, an English drawing 
in the style of Goya. In any case, a fascinating document for 
the student. 65% inches x 8 inches 


HENDRICK GOLTZIUS 
1558-1617 


FORTUNE STANDING ON A WINGED SPHERE 

Pen and ink and wash drawing. The design may have some 
political significance in connection with England and Holland, 
but it is probably more safely considered as an emblematic 
drawing. It isa rather rare example of this German artist who 
is especially famed for his engravings. 63% inches x 5 inches 


VALENTINE GREEN 


CHRIST AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION 

He is surrounded by Joseph and Mary and two attendants, 
together with Cupid. After the painting by Lodovico Caracci. 
Very fine impression of this magnificent mezzotint published by 
Boydell. Framed. 

From the Robert Hoe Collection. 


SEVEN DRAWINGS ASCRIBED TO GREAT MASTERS, 
INCLUDING A VAN OSTADE 

The seven drawings here offered together have had great names 

attached to them in previous collections. That of Van Loo is 


42 


146 


146a 


147 


almost unquestionably correct, and that of Van Ostade is abso- 
lutely genuine. The drawing ascribed to Van Dyck is probably 
for an engraving after a painting, and is a very attractive com- 
position. The sketch attributed to Corot is open to decided : 
question, and this is true also of the La Fage, and of the 
Wouvermann. The Brenghel is, in any case, by an important 
master. ‘This lot has speculative possibilities, especially as re- 
gards the Van Ostade and the Brenghel. 


FRANCESCO GUARDI (?) 
1712-1778 


ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING 
The swift lines of this drawing are similar to others in archi- 
tectural drawing by Guardi, the little rippling lines being espe- 
cially characteristic. Still, this drawing may be by Bibiena. 
From the Marquis da Fossi Collection. 

4% inches x 71% inches 


SMALL ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING 
This little pen and ink architectural drawing has some of the 


characteristics of Guardi, but I should personally be inclined to 


attribute it to Bibiena. 3% inches x 4 inches 


CONSTANTIN GUYS 


DURING THE ENTR’ACTE 

Pen and ink and wash drawing, showing scene in a theatre. 
The women in the boxes, and the men in the orchestra, are 
depicted with that rare kind of talent which has made the draw- 
ings of Constantin Guys so sought after by the great collectors 


of France. 734 inches x 13% inches

a very striking drawing, not impossibly by Aniello Falcone. 
934 inches x 734 inches 


ALLEGORICAL DRAWING 
Pen and ink and wash drawing, probably representing Death, 
Sin and Satan riding through the air in a chariot formed by 
two dragons. This rare grotesque drawing was formerly at- 
tributed to Benvenuto Cellini. It seems more to resemble the 
work of Cellini’s contemporary, Giocopo Ligozzi (1543-1617). 
It is an extraordinary drawing, worthy of study and research.

his treatment of light and shade. 5% inches x 73% inches

drawing are the words, presumably in the autograph of the 

artist, from Ovid: “Sum brevis at nomen quod terras impleat 

omnes est mihi.” : 

One is tempted to ascribe the drawing to Ingres, who painted 

various portraits of Napoleon as First Consul. |

of that period. 1034 inches x 83% inches 


GASPARO POUSSIN 
1613-1675 


MERCURY PRESENTING THE APPLE TO PARIS 
The real name of this artist was Dughet. He came immediately 
under the influence of his brother-in-law, Nicholas Poussin, and 
this classic drawing evidences this influence. In its combina- 
tion of landscape, figures and animals, the drawing is a very 
decorative example of the work of this Italian artist. 

8 inches x 131% inches 


ROMAN LANDSCAPE 3 
Red crayon drawing. An attractive and characteristic land- 
scape, combining human beings, trees and rocks in an effective 
composition. This drawing is of intense interest for the col- 
lector of drawings in view of the manifest influence of Claude 
de Lorrain, who was a friend of Gaspar’s brother-in-law, 
Nicholas Poussin, all three living at Rome at the same time.

SIXTEENTH CENTURY PUZZLE 
This early 16th Century pen and ink drawing offers amusing 
study. It is suggestive of engravings by Robetta, and in its 
absurd muscles is reminiscent of Bandinelli. The monogram 
with which it is signed indicates that the unknown artist’s first 
name was Francesco, and that his last name began with R, and 
ended with A. A scene from the Inferno is depicted.

RAFFAELLE SANZIO 
1483-1520 
TWO CHERUBS | 
The ascription of this pen and ink and wash drawing to Raf- 
faelle is by no less an expert than Sir Peter Lily, from whose 
collection it comes, and whose stamp appears on the drawing. 
While there is much in the drawing suggestive of Raffaelle, there 
are also reminiscences of Parmigiano. In any case, it is, in line, 
in color and modeling one of the very loveliest drawings in 
Italian art, a treasure for any collection. 6 inches x 434 inches

RAFFAELLE SCHOOL 


WARRIORS ADVANCING TO WARFARE 

This pen and ink drawing has the stamp of an early but uniden-

SKETCH FOR A CHURCH 

Pen and ink drawing, being the original sketch for a part of a 
church, showing not alone the design for a great painting of St. 
Michael, but also a design for a ceiling, the figures of saints in 
the niches, etc. If this is, as I surmise but have not established, 
the first design for his great work in the Capucini Church at 
Rome, it becomes a drawing of first importance in the record of 
church architecture. In any case, it shows remarkable draughts- 
manship, and is one of the most interesting of the drawings by 
this Bolognese who was considered by many of his contemporaries 
as the greatest of living masters, with the possible exception 
of Rubens. 1914 inches x 10% inches

ROMAN SCHOOL 


BATTLE SCENE, WITH FIVE ELEPHANTS TAKING 
PART 
This drawing has been attributed to Guilio Romano, undoubtedly 
a wrong attribution. It has on the reverse a signed Ms. note, 
dated 1525, when Romano was thirty-two years old, but the 
drawing, while interesting, does not show the skill of this pupil 
of Raffaelle. It remains a curious document in the history of 
warfare. 10% inches x 15 inches

showing the Michael Angelo influence.

walled town at right background. In this drawing the spirit of 
action is superb, and this is one of the very great drawings of the 
Roman School. The influence of Raffaelle is marked, especially 
in the quickly drawn oval of the heads of the warriors. An early 
collector’s mark, “C.B.” at lower center. 12 inches x 20% inches

PETER PAUL RUBENS 
1577-1640 


A GROUP OF SIX FIGURES, five monks and a woman 
Pen and ink and wash drawing; probably a detail for one of his 
paintings. The head of the chief figure at the right should be 
compared with the head of an old man in the Albertini Collection 
(1179 of the Albertina Reproductions). The medium employed 
is less common with Rubens than crayon, but the power of the ~ 
figures is characteristic of this great Flemish master.

“SKETCHING SOCIETY” DRAWINGS 


Collection of 11 drawings by Alfred Edward Chalon, John 


James Chalon, H. P. Bone, J. 8. Hayward, etc. The Sketching 
Society was founded by the Chalons and some of their friends 
in 1808, and these eleven drawings are, both in their imagina- 
tive and mythological subjects, as well as in the talent shown in 
their execution, an attractive relic of this society of artists. All 
the names of these artists mentioned above are included in 
Bryan’s “Dictionary of Painters.” The Chalons were espe- 
cially well known, and A. E. Chalon was appointed portrait 
painter to Queen Victoria. Bone was appointed enamel painter 
to Queen Victoria. One of his drawings in the present group, 
is especially interesting on account of its portrait of Dante. 
Varying in size from 10% in. x 13 in. to 16 in x 14 in. 


JOHN SLOAN 


Contemporary American 


The following drawings by John Sloan were, for the most. part, 
made as illustrations for stories, in the Century and McClure’s 
Magazines. Reference to the files of these magazines will give, 
to those interested, the exact episodes illustrated; but the mas- 
tery of these drawings in themselves render the legend of very 
secondary importance. The drawings of John Sloan will surely 
remain among the great prizes sought after by the discrimin- 
ating collector of American art.

SCENE AT A FIRE 

In this group of hurrying children, with the unkempt, slippered 
man in the foreground and with women hanging out of the

The following group of pictures by Carl Sprinchorn is the 
work of that contemporary American artist, born in Sweden, 
whose genius has been recognized with intense enthusiasm by 
all art critics of the New York press. This is the first time 
any of his works have been offered at public sale, and it may 
safely be predicted that future collectors will compete for ex- 
amples of this artist, in some ways the most remarkable 
draughtsman since Constantin Guys.

after. 734 inches x 8% inches

JOHANNES STRADANUS 
1536-1605 


THE TOILETTE OF BATHSHEBA 

Pen and ink and blue wash drawing. A very decorative draw- 
ing with finely draped figured of Bathsheba’s attendants, rich 
ornaments, architectural background, etc. 


Stradanus, who was born at Bruges, spent most of his life in 
Italy, where he painted many church pieces and also made de- 
signs for tapestries. It is very possible that the present drawing 
is a tapestry design. 1334 inches x 18% inches 


THOMAS SULLY 
1783-1872 

THE NATIVITY 
Pen and ink drawing. In this group are eight figures, those of 
the Virgin and infant Christ, being of especial loveliness. The 
drawing is signed and dated, “T. S., 1821” at lower left, and is 
one of the finest of all drawings by this early American painter.

BIBLICAL FIGURES 
Wash drawing, showing in an attractive composition, Moses 
with the Ten Commandments at left, and other Biblical figures 
in foreground, with Christ surrounded by angels, in upper 
part of the drawing. The drawing is attributed by an earlier 
owner to Tavener, “an old English amateur painter highly 
commended by Walpole.” 7% inches x 5% inches 


BAYARD TAYLOR’S DRAWINGS 

Collection of fifteen drawings, mainly from the Collection of 
Bayard Taylor, with one or two from the Robert Hoe Collec- 
tion. ‘There are included drawings by Chalon, Dutiel, Von 
Binzzer, etc., while a drawing of special literary interest is the 
beautiful head of Christ, a signed crayon by A. F. Oeser, the 
German painter, under whom Goethe studied art. | 


THREE DRAWINGS FROM THE BAYARD TAYLOR 
COLLECTION 

(a) Pen and ink and wash drawing of a goblet, obviously by a 
16th Century Italian artist, probably the School of Raf- 
faelle. 

(b) Pen and ink and wash 17th Century drawing of a satyr. 

(c) Very fine pen and ink drawing not impossibly by the great 
German artist, Overbeck, and probably an illustration to 
one of Uhland’s poems. The drawing, undoubtedly for an 
engraving, presumably shows the Emperor Barbarossa, and 
is an exceptional piece of work.

stone and Disraeli facing one another for an encounter, with 
Punch, dressed like a school-master and holding a birch stick 
behind his back, in the pose of a teacher who has discovered two 
bad boys about to fight. This pencil drawing was, of course, 
reproduced in the famous series of Punch cartoons. |

W. M. THACKERAY 
1811-1863 
TAKING IN TOE

TITIAN (attributed to) 
1477-1576 


POTIPHAR’S WIFE AND JOSEPH 

This drawing has been ascribed to Titian, an ascription espe- 
cially interesting in that this picture shows that loveliness in 
color coupled, at times, with faultiness in draughtsmanship not 
always absent from the drawings of the great Venetian master. 
It is, in any case, a beautiful example of the Venetian School. 
From the Artaria Collection. ,

Three color reproductions of paintings by Titian, Bellini and 
Domenichino. Framed. ~ 


FRANCESCO TORBIDO

upper center. 1054 inches x 1734 inches 


FRANCESCO TREVISANI

Mezzotint after John Raphael Smith. Full length, seated. 
Fine rich impression. Lower margin repaired. Framed. 


J. M. W. TURNER 
1775-1851 


ENGLISH LANDSCAPE 

A delightful water-color, showing slope of hill with cattle and 
trees in foreground, and water and cliffs in background. On 
the back of this water-color Turner himself had pasted a slip 
of paper indicating that the picture was painted “Between St. 
Asaph and the Holy Well.” This slip has been removed and is 
now to be found pasted below the water-color under the mat. 
Turner’s own autograph is, however, not needed to assure the 
authenticity of this characteristic water-color by this great Eng- 
lish artist. Framed. Signed lower left, “J.M.W.T.”

GIOVANI DA UDINE 
1487-1564 

GROTESQUES 
This drawing is one of the finest examples of Renaissance orna- 
mentation drawn by that artist who went with Raffaelle to see 
the then newly discovered ruins of the Palace of Titus, whose 
erottoes had those decorations that thereafter went by the name 
of “grotesques.” These fantastic figures with designs of flowers 
and fruit, painted on stucco, have a striking example in the 
present drawing, which is an important document in the history 
of art. Giovanni da Udine perpetuated the type adapted from 
the Palace of Titus, and this drawing by him is a rare and beau- 
tiful example of this type of decoration. 
From the Marquis da Fossi Collection.

unique among the Florentine drawings relating to Christ.

ing, however, that this is the engraver’s drawing for the engrav-

decided interest and the engraving accompanies the drawing.

FEMALE HANDS AND DRAPERY 
Crayon drawing, in black and red. A delightful example of this

COLLECTION OF FIFTY-THREE CRAYON DRAWINGS 


Thirty-six of them are sanguine drawings, and together they form 
the greatest series of studies of the male figure by this great 
French artist that has even been offered for sale. These draw- 
ings were contained in a large volume, and there is an auction 
record showing that such a volume with drawings of this nature 
by Carle Van Loo fetched, about a century ago, six thousand 
francs. There does not now seem to be any way to establish 
the fact that these two volumes are one and the same, but it is 
very likely, to be the case. This collection should really be 
acquired by a museum for the use of students, although if a pri- 
vate collector obtains it, and is less interested in keeping it in 
its entirety, he will find these great drawings by Van Loo a very 
ready basis for exchange with other collectors who may wish to 
have only individual examples. The fifty-three drawings are 
contained in a special case, of buckram and leather. 

Varying somewhat in size, but approximately 11 in. x 16 in. 


KASPAR VAN WITTLE (VANVITTELLI) 
1674-1736 


THE HEAD OF A MONK 

Pencil drawing, heightened in white. Vanvitelli was born in 
Utrecht, but spent most of his life in Italy. The drawing, an 
interesting character study, comes from the Collection of Bayard 
Taylor. 15 inches x 10% inches 


ELIHU VEDDER 


Contemporary American 


CRAYON DRAWING FOR THE EDITION OF POE’S 
RAVEN, illustrated by Doré. 
Remarkable composition, with two nude figures, sheltered under 
the wings that comes from the helmet on the head of Minerva; 
with enwreathed portraits of Edgar Allen Poe and Gustave Doré, 
and a Medusa head linking the two. The drawing was eut out — 
by Vedder, and pasted on the original design for poster an- 
nouncing this edition of Poe. The drawing has been so matted 
as to show merely Vedder’s design. Vedder’s signature attached — 
to drawing at lower right.

VELASQUEZ (attributed to)

374 A MAN KNEELING IN PRAYER 


375 


There is something fascinating in the daring which led to the 
attribution to Velasquez of this drawing, which comes from the 
well-known Artaria Collection. Only two or three drawings are 
universally recognized as authentic Velasquez drawings, and the 
present sketch does not compel us to admit it into such a select 
company. Let it suffice to consider it an interesting drawing 
of that period and of the Spanish School, with a delightful 
study of drapery on the reverse side. 5% inches x 6 inches

THE DEATH OF ABEL 

Sanguine drawing. Cane is shown with club over his right 
shoulder; Adam is drawing away the body of Abel, while Eve 
and the two wives are lamenting the murder. An angel flying 
overhead, points to the expulsion of Cane. 


The composition and general execution of this drawing, apart 
from the interest of the drawing, make it a notable example by 
the celebrated French artist, who was chosen by the king to be 


‘the chief teacher of the young artists of his epoch. Framed.

GIUSEPPE NICOLO VICENTINO 
1510-1540 (?) 


HERCULES KILLING THE NEMAEAN LION 
This pen and ink drawing, was by previous owners attributed 
to Raffaelle, and the old paper in which it is wrapped still bears 
the statement “Drawing by Raffaelle,” and price, “50 Thalers.” 
It is, however, a drawing of even greater rarity, a sketch by 
Vicentino, the Italian painter and wood engraver, so famous in 
the history of engraving. In the early chiaroscuro manner his 
woodeut of Hercules killing the Nemaean lion (after Raffaelle’s 
design), is known to all collectors; and the present drawing 
showing the same subject is a remarkable rarity.

reminiscence of Rembrandt in the figure of the man with out- 
stretched arm. Although his prints are numerous, drawings of 
Worlidge are exceedingly rare, and this signed example is the 

finest that has ever been offered for sale in America.

with a falcon on her left hand. This is a most spirited series ; 
the action of all the little figures is remarkable. These drawings 
come into the rare class of works by Callot and Guardi. The re- 
verse of the sheet shows eleven lines in the Dutch language, 
presumably the Ms of the artist. 7 inches x 7% inches
